Last Sunday night I was hit with such great pain, I decided to go to the ER. Turns out they symptons I have been experiencing for the last week were Gallstone. Go figure. Anyway, I was in surgery by Wednesday and am happily recovering at home. It may sound funny, but I am kind of glad it happened. I am trying to get back on the healthy eating path and boy did this give me a huge push in the right direction. Thanks for all your supportive comments. I will be back at work on Monday and have already implemented better eating strategies. :clap2: Hope you all have a great week. Christine

I will make an appointment Monday.

Okay, I am hoping that there is someone out there that can give me advice, words of wisdom, or just plain old Ive been there and it is possible to get back on track. I got my band three years ago. Lost 100 pounds. Had complications, band slipped and severe acid reflux. Surgery to put band back, then way off the good trail on eating, followed by divorce. Now 80 pounds are back and I want to get back on track. I just cannot seem to stop eating and kick the habit. Any advise? I know it is up to me. I just don't know how to get started again.

I have had my band three years and lost 100 pounds...for a while. A year and a half ago I got reflux really bad and found out that my band slipped. I went back for surgery and got if fixed, but was too afraid to get it fill. Back came 80 of the pounds so I got some refilled, but am embarassed to say I broke all the eating rules. I think I am now paying for it this week. At my band site I am having really bad pains after I eat about a half hour later. I don't know if my band slipped again or if my band has erroded? Not sure what that feels like. They embarrashed me so badly last time I went for a fill last summer, I have not been back. I am worried and don't know what to do. :help:
